Greg It is certainly possible to run a number of versions in parallel. I usually install my production version in /usr/local and I often initially install a new version under my home directory and work initially on a copy of the data file in a new location until I am happy to make it the production version usualy only a couple of days. It is also possible to install a separate version under /opt for use by all users. The catch is that the same user specific configuartion files are used by each version (and there sometimes can be conflicts).
I also do a little minor deelopment and documentation work so I usually have the maint or master branches of the program and documentation installed at a separate location under my home directory. If you need to separate the user config files, you can always use a separate login to run each version but then you may need to copy data files to the new user. You can also put files in a dropbox location and the allow each user to signin and open them.
